spiritual presence

Felt but invisible

Spiritual presence is the felt sense that something beyond the physical is near—a divine being, a deceased person, or a sacred quality.

Religious contexts speak of feeling God's spiritual presence during prayer.

The phrase also describes someone whose demeanor conveys depth or transcendence: She had a spiritual presence that calmed the room.
